Get The Basil for the Sauce! - Cuddly 'n Groovin' DK

You are purchasing a hand-dyed skein of DK weight yarn. The beauty of this base is that you not only get an extra 15 grams of yarn, it's ALSO extra-fine merino for an oomph factor in softness and sheen! 

"Get The Basil for the Sauce!" is part of the Groovy Hues Fiber "Hurry Up Summer!" 2024 collection.  It is, obviously, a leafy green tonal mix. The highlight of our summers used to be when our grandparents would send us into the garden to pick basil for the Sunday sauce. I was a little weirdo and used to pick large leaves and shove a few in my face whole before bringing the rest into the kitchen. 

This colorway will work on its own, but it was designed to coordinate with 3 tonal/semisolid colors from this collection - Grammy's Garden, Sunny D, and Lablab purpureus. All 4 colors would make a GREAT sweater or a fabulous shawl for fall fiber fairs!

PLEASE NOTE:

• Please ask all questions before purchase as returns are not accepted unless the shop has made an error (i.e., shipping the wrong item).
• All yarn is photographed in a light box and adjusted as well as possible for white balance. Not all screens will depict color in the same way, and your screen may vary slightly from what you see in-person. 
• As this is hand-dyed, no two skeins will be exactly alike, and therefore may differ slightly from what you see in photographs. When using multiple skeins for a project, alternate skeins between rows to achieve an overall blended effect.
• Product care: Although this is superwash wool, hand-washing in cold water with baby shampoo or extremely gentle wool wash is always recommended and preferred for extending the life of your project. Do not soak for long periods of time unless garment is unusually soiled. You may see some color release in the first wash. This does not affect the colorfastness of the yarn, nor is it a dyer error. It is recommended when working with different colors for one project, to snip a small amount from each, and wash together to ensure there is no bleeding into one another. Roll finished garment in a clean towel and lay flat to dry. Blocking pins on foam squares is recommended to keep the desired shape.
